all in due time. I will be training jumping nonstop all this season.

that's how I would do it as well. Wait until later in the build, I just didn't see anywhere you mentioned it.

yeah, the Power Receiver I'm playing by ear... just seeing how things are going. He's definitely got a long way to go before he's even remotely useful.

Solid as ever and only continues to get better. I'm debating bringing speed up to 74 or working on SA's.


What are your thoughts on the extra SA for your blocking TE? I also have Pummel, but I'm thinking of switching to First Step instead. I'm thinking that Pummel sucks based on some of my other linemen that I've tried it with...

no thoughts on it yet. I haven't even used it. Can't really give my opinion... but for the most part he's underleveled compared to his competition and still manages 5ish pancakes a game.

We'll see when I get done with my attributes mid-season.

Nice freaking builds man.

gracias, senor.

Looks like your build is rounding out better than mine is. I think I pumped catching too high to begin with, which I am now paying for.

He doesnīt get many looks as he doesnīt get open very much, but he pretty much catches whatever you throw at him. As with your guy he has had problems finding a team that will use him correctly, and even more so since his build isnīt exactly stunning right now.

I am currently working on strength, and debating whether to take it to 74 and stop carrying at 60, or to take them both to 68.

I hope to get a Power Through and Lower the Shoulder piece sometime in the future as well, although that would probably mean that I had to switch my catch ball% piece for a BB% piece.

I am intense training speed, carrying, jumping (just started) and confidence right now. Stamina will be added to that mix as soon as strength is capped.

I can't think of any piece of AEQ that currently exists that I would do that for.

I wont be able to get him where I want him, but I started the build before I had defined what I wanted out of him to be honest.
My goal if I was starting from scratch now would be for the following by level 40ish
Speed: 100
Agility: 70
Vision: 61
Catching: 61
Jumping: 40
Confidence: 49
Stamina: 40
Carrying: 49
In my idea of an offense, the TEs are part of moving the ball, catching passes rather than block.

I have a level 25 TE on a team I own and run the offense.

Homage, i was just wondering if Freight is used as a pass blocker as well, and how he does in that role, esp with his tactics set to run block (i presume they are)

How in the hell did you get 440 pancakes in a single season and not even get an award? That's just nuts.

Homage I have a question for you. On your blocking TE do you think First Step would be better for him or Pummel? I'm leaning twards FT on my blocking TE and I hope he can come out as good as yours. Solid builds man!

He's reasonable but he's nothing to write home about. I am actually trying to make him a better pass blocker at this point and I may go to balanced blocking at some point. But right now he's still a dedicated run blocker.

Think someone had more.

Not really sure at this point. I don't have the BT to swap and part of me still wishes I had a pass blocking SA or something. All I know is I don't think Pummel is going to rule that hard in higher levels considering the chances of pancaking often are pretty low for the most part. Although, he's been sitting free of a team the past 3 games so we'll see how things go.

However, I do have FS on my blocking FB and I enjoy it immensely. He goes from block to block pretty damn fast when it fires.

I am building a blocking TE and saw this forum and wanted to check and see how far off and where my TE was from your TEs build. My TE has just reached level 44 and noticed that you had posted your attributes when you were level 44. It's scary how close the two of them are. I'm going to list your TE on the left and mine on the right.

I see that you are now up into the 70s, curious as to how pleased you are with your build and how he has performed. I have been very happy with my guy up to this point and still kicking around how much vision and speed to take him to.
